Percutaneous Balloon Microcompression. Fluoroscopy is used to guide a 14-gauge access needle through the skin of the cheek into the entrance of the foramen ovale.... A 4. 0 french(1. 35 mm) balloon catheter is inserted through the cannula of the needle and advanced to the entrance of Meckel' s cave. The balloon, filled with approximately 0. 75-1 ml of a contrast material, is inflated to compress the gasserian ganglion and nerve root against the dura and the petrous ridge for 1 minute. The contrast material allows the position of the balloon to be verified under fluoroscopy. After deflation, the balloon and cannula are removed concurrently. 3, record 1, English, - percutaneous%20balloon%20microcompression
